One wonderful thing about the townhouse complex where we live is how green they've managed to keep everything. And by green, I don't mean manicured only shrubbery and lawns (which they've also done a good job with). We have a pine tree right next to our unit - pine trees in Richmond outside of the Christmas tree lots are rare - that has become somewhat of a nuisance by pushing up concrete, rendering the parking spot unusable except for the higher-clearance SUVs.

Beginning about six weeks ago, we started hearing thumps on our roof, sounding like a rodent had fallen out of the tree, then made a mad dash for safety. However, it was happening with an increasing frequency that exceeded the probability of drunk squirrels falling out of trees.
